Can’t we visit the graves and pay respect to our ancestors during the Lantern Festival?

The Lantern Festival is a traditional Chinese festival, and the formation of Lantern Festival customs took a long process.
According to general information and folk legends, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was already taken seriously in the Western Han Dynasty. The activity of Emperor Wu of Han worshipping "Taiyi" in Ganquan Palace on the first night of the first lunar month was regarded by later generations as a precursor to the worship of gods in heaven on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The introduction of Buddhist culture in the Eastern Han Dynasty played an important role in the formation of the Lantern Festival customs.
Therefore, the Lantern Festival, one of the three festivals, is actually derived from sacrificial activities. If you want to visit the graves and worship your ancestors on this day, you can.
